Are you there, Father? For sometimes, I can't feel your presence.
My mind is troubled, caught in the chaos of this journey called life.
You created me in your image and likeness, you said!
But I feel lost, trying to navigate so many things.

I know you said not to worry, but my mind is weak.
Although my heart knows and understands that you will deliver at the appropriate time
Yet, my own indiscipline puts me in a tight spot, 
and my imperfections stare me in the face every day.

I look around, and my desires grow enormously, 
even though certainly they might not be what I need.
Can I wait, Father, for you to grant what I deserve? 
Impatience has gotten the better of me, and 
Indignity, a resting place that is leading me in the wrong direction.

Still, my heart longs for more, putting me on an endless quest.
Wealth, material things and gains, all these are gifts from you, 
but can I wait for the right time? 
To learn the lesson you placed in my path.

For I know my spirit longs for more than these fleeting things
but my flesh always intervenes.
I want to be happy even though I do not fully understand where real happiness lies.
I feel my inner self yearning for peace amidst all, 
Peace that only you can provide, rooted in the joy you give.

Hence, can I hold on? 
to nurture my patience, thereby passing through the hurdles on the path.
To get to that promised land and gain endless tranquillity?

My wants are becoming insatiable, and my mates are calling.
No matter how I try, I feel gossips on my hair, 
standing as a pin in a stack of needles.
The world watches, waiting to see how I will pull through.

If I stray from your will, I might fall into a ditch.
Yet, I don't want to become a mockery.
Can my principles and discipline survive? 
My will to wait on you prevail?

Inside, I know that persistence pays, 
but the world seems unfavourable to those who endure.
Despite all these, I have chosen to look to you 
to keep trying and moving, no matter how hard it may be.

For you only genuinely understand, 
see my weakness and wipe my tears.
From you, the strength to continue flows, 
my journey from the womb, you know it all.

You created me from nothing and see my future,
for I am blind even though I have eyes.
Deaf, even with ears, 
cannot see what will happen in a split second.

For, you know Father, 
You see and guide me,
You will put me on the right path
 If only I wait and believe.
